  • Error message: Currently unable to connect to the Bell servers. Try again later.

 

What to do: Try connecting again later. If the problem persists, please contact us

 

They might be performing upgrades in your area. If it does not come up in a bit and you power cycled the modem already, you will have to call them to get assistance.

Have the same issue with Bell modem showing an authentication error. Reset the modem twice works for about 20 minutes and gives the same error again. Called Bell and they cant help as the service is working once reboot takes place. Similar like the online moderators who asks after 2 days "Following up if your service is working"? Kindly fix it rather than asking!!

Error 2000 indicated a network outage. Sometimes Bell performs upgrades and your service might have temporary hick ups.

That is why you might get asked the question after a few days if it resolved itself, as it normally will resolve itself.

Hello everyone, ever since I upgraded to the 1.5gig HomeHub 4000 i get the 2000 error code about once a month. Then i am forced to unplug my modem to reboot it. I am tired of this as when I am away from home i lose connection to my house cameras and servers for days.

It just happened again today and I will be calling in to get a new modem or to have support explain the issue because this is unacceptable.

 

Hi there @sideshowdad 
Thank you for your post and welcome to the Community.
Are you able to share how long this has been happening?
Are all your cables on the back of the modem plugged in correctly and securely?
Do you have any third party equipment connected such as a router? If so, we recommend unplugging it from your setup to see if the issue persists.
Are you able to access your modem GUI when you get error code 2000 (by typing 192.168.2.1 into a web browser)?
Looking forward to hearing back.

Hi @sideshowdad,

Bell is updating GigaHub firmware from time to time and that is very often causing error 2000.. had this error very frequently, what helped was My Bell virtual repair tool. After running it and using frequent disconnections option everything worked well for extended time. Then went for a vacation overseas and my home automation, cameras, server etc. became inaccessible. Since i could not reboot GigaHub (no one was home) and get internet connection back I tried remote reboot thru My Bell virtual repair tool. That didn't work. I knew Bell is able to reboot modems remotely so I sent them an email. They were very reluctant and after going back and forth for a few days suddenly my internet access was back. 

As soon as I switched to the gigahub. I wish I didn't upgrade never had issues.

Perhaps a firmware update or a new one? If not this is a bad service to have and have to think of other options.

Hey thanks for sharing your story. I had a feeling they could but are reluctant.

I wonder if I can get my old modem back with the removable spdif.

This will be going on 5 days now, where Bell has notified me of an outage in my area, and repeated said they've fixed the issue only to have all my services drop off again 5minutes, or just long enough for someone to get started on homework,  chose a fibe show, start streaming something.... This is frustrating on it's own. What really gets me irked is the cycle of "Your services have been restored.  If you are still experiencing issues, click here". Clicking here brings you to the Virtual Repair, which then identifies an issue,  that there's an outage in your neighborhood and prompts you to check outages.. Which of course says the outage is fixed. And for almost 5 days now,  any time the outage is updated to fixed, and then another outage in the area is reported,  Bell restarts the clock on when the outage originated.  So, I've been without services (because I'm foolish enough to wrap all my services in one provider so my grandchildren can cause complete insanely when they're forced to go back to books for a week) since Tuesday,  it's now Saturday,  and the outage start time says it started Sept 28th at 7am. Isn't it a little dishonest to restart the clock when services have not been restored long enough for any customer to actually use them?

Services are way to expensive, please don't try to pass your 5 day downtime off as a problem that just started, that's demeaning to those of us actually following allong. Network equipment error is somewhat vague,  can anyone explain to me what that means and why that takes 5 days to fix?

I understand services do go down, but the mixed messages, shoddy offering of increased data, not all of us have Smart Tvs to occupy children, it makes me wonder whos considering how to help customers actually deal with all services being down for so long when only the internet is reportedly out. Is it smart to bundle services  anymore?

What is the error code on the modem when it drops? Network issue can be complex, and pending on the damaged equipment can take a bit to be repaired.

Only Bell would know exactly what the extend of the repairs are, so it's best to contact them directly if it involves an outage  Bell Tech Support.

The error code alternate between 1100DSL1&2 and 2000, and unfortunately I haven't been able to reach a bell service agent since Wednesday, due to understandably high call volumes and my own schedule not allowing me to dedicate the time to wait, unfortunately, no blame placed on the agents there. The lady I spoke to Wed was indeed lovely, though vague, and offered the larger volume of data to use for the duration,  but that of course was when the estimated fix time was that evening.  Now, Ive been having fairly consistent disconnection issues and had a technician out the previous week. He stated that though there was nothing wrong with anything from the outside pole through to the modem set up, the infrastructure of the neighborhood itself is ancient and the cables themselves from the Bell box at the corner to the pole behind my house are in horrible need of repair due to age alone... Would that be considered "Network Equipment"? 

And please don't take me the wrong way, I'm really not trying to be difficult, I'm just trying to understand as a layman. Me asking if it was truly smart to bundle all our services in one company wasn't me griping,  it was an honest question.  I've heard every provider uses Bell towers, I don't know if that's true or even if anything other than the cell service goes through them, so I guess my real question is if I hypothetically had some services through Bell, and some through other providers am I still out of luck should there be an outage?
